Not slacking multitasking
They are soo lucky that there were enough other horses there that the pony stayed, I'd hope it wouldn't take to the sea but it is so easy for them to just start swimming in the wrong direction if they do.
A friend and I were going up a steep track to the Downs when a tandem came hurtling down towards us.We stopped and girl in front said steady.Man got off tandem and complained about us and said our horses were dangerous.Luckily his wife got off as well and had a go at him.I agree all of this. I don't remember so many dogs around years back nor such badly behaved ones. I only have one as needed as guard for my stable yard and house but otherwise I wouldn't.
I don't have too many problems with kids, I simply don't allow any kids near our horses. Just can't risk it any longer. My problem after dogs is mountain bikers. I appreciate where the lycra clad brigade keep their brains but what part of "if you overtake or usually undertake so close and your pedal hits my horse's leg he will kick" is difficult to understand?
the ones who come hurtling down our steep off road bridleways are great as well. We are quite used to seeing what happens when they have to break downhill at speed, they come over the handlebars. I remember asking one lot of bikers to slow down on a bridlepath. They refused, it was their right and anyway they could stop if needed. The rest of their ride arrived and promptly went over their handlebars, it rather proved the point!
Just seen the report in H&H about this incident, does anyone know anymore about it?
